When i try to make a recipe (or remove one) it will show in the .zs file but wont show up ingame. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the mod and it still doesnt work. Why is this so and how can i fix this please and thank you.

it worked at one point

What version?
Did you restart you game for the recipes to take effect if 1.12+?

i am in 1.10.2, sorry meant to mention that

and i restarted my game multiple times

1.10.2 Craft/Minetweaker isn't being worked on anymore, Thus the mod is fine. You either edited the file and broke it or there is an error in your scripts causing them to not load.

This isn't an issue with the mod itself. Check your logs and your scripts for errors.

i did edit it a couple of times manually

do you know how to fix it?

it did work until then

That's because whatever you edited was done wrong. There is nothing wrong our mod. If you have issues with CT use http://minetweaker3.powerofbytes.com/wiki/Main_Page to do it correctly. This isn't CT support.

sorry
